Manchester Orchestra Set To Debut New Material On Upcoming Headline Tour Starting November 28, 2008

MANCHESTER, UK (Top40 Charts/ Manchester Orchestra Official Website) - Beginning next week in Carrboro, North Carolina, Manchester Orchestra will kick off their 3 week headline tour across the country ending in their hometown of Atlanta on December 20th.The band plans to debut new material from the upcoming Spring 2009 release of their sophomore album, Mean Everything To Nothing, co-produced by Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, My Morning Jacket) and Dan Hannon.

This record will be the next large step for a band Rolling Stone praised as being "expansive in scope and rich in texture, even while remaining lyrically focused on small moments of revelation." The upcoming album has already been pegged by Alternative Press Magazine as one of the "Most Anticipated" records for 2009.

In the past year, Manchester Orchestra has played major USA festivals, including Coachella, Lollapalooza and The Voodoo Experience in New Orleans.
